Members Max Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 By my own admission, I don't know very much about Y&R history. So I wanted to ask others what major ethical flaws Sharon has. (Since I always see her being portrayed as almost perfect.) Additionally, what caused Nikki to despise Sharon so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 Sharon in recent years has been written as a woman who repeatedly abandons her children, due to mental problems or a boyfriend, or both. Her biggest flaw, ethical or not, is that she's a dumbass. Nikki thought Sharon was a golddigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 That was one of the main things. She also thought Sharon was ruining Nick's life by involving him in her dramas. She blamed Sharon for the Matt Clarke saga with Nick almost going to jail for trying to kill him (which he didnt do). She thought Nick was too young and had too much of a future to be wasting his time on her and getting in trouble for her sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 lmao. Pretty succinct assessment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 To Nikki no woman (except Amy) has ever been good enough for Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 She was quite accepting of Phyllis at first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Not really. Nikki didn't accept Giggly until toward the end of Nick/Sharon's divorce (mainly because of the pregnancy) & that was short lived because of the Newman extortion debacle & Nick's "death". And it was WAY OOC of Nikki to accept Nick's affair & Giggly in general at all (let alone a year after Cassie's death). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 See, I could buy Nikki's almost-immediate acceptance of Phyllis simply because of her dislike of Sharon. What struck me as ridiculously OOC for Nikki was sending the mother of her granddaughter to prison to further her political career (Nikki even having a political career was bad enough).

Members DeeeDee Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Except despite Nikki disliking Sharon IN THE BEGINNING & almost always taking Nick's side over Sharon's when they fought Nikki (and Victoria) fully accepted Sharon (and Cassie) as family. The idea that NIKKI (of all people) would be ok with Giggly Heffa (who she was never really friends with & who she personally knows has a horrible history) having an affair, getting pregnant by & playing house with her emotionally destroyed son while her daughter-in-law (and the rest of their family) is grieving the loss of one of Nikki's grandchildren is insane. That (like Brad/Sharon) was totally to prop Giggly. That was OOC for Nikki. But Nikki (and Victoria's) entire post-affair relationships with Giggly have been nothing but them being ruined to prop St. Heffa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 I still hate that the show never really did anything with these two. They made a full love story out of Nick/Phyllis but simply teased Brad/Sharon and stuck her with old man Jack, Phylis' ex, instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Interesting how even on this MB a thread about Sharon always brings up LOL. Nikki was not accepting of Phyllis after the affair was revealed and she wasnt too happy when Nick told her and Victor he and Phyllis were together abd he was divorcing Sharon. Nikki and Phyllis were never as close as they were during the early stages of NVP after the affair was revealed. Except for a few scenes when Summer was involved Nikki and Phyllis barely interacted and then the whole blackmail story and Nikki throwing her new DIL and her own Daughter under the bus for her own politcal amnitions was whack. Nikki saw Sharon for what she was, an Opportunist, from the trouble with Matt Clark, to her saddling Nick with Cassie and then tricking him into getting her pregnant with another child, to her affairs, to her kissing Nikki's Husband, abandonign her kids, to her blackmailing Nikki a couple pf times, to the Cameron debacle, to Sharon becoming obsessed with being a stripper like Nikki and wanting to dethrone Nikki as the Queen of GC, who can blame her.

Members DeeeDee Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Exactly. Brad/Sharon had WAY more chemistry than Jack/Sharon ever did but that was the point. By pairing Sharon with Aunt Jack it made her look desperate & it also made her unavailable to Nick which benefits only one person, St. Giggly.

Members yr9190 Posted March 20, 2012 Members Share Posted March 20, 2012 Is this Phyllis thing all apart of these mysterious agendas CBS/Sony has Deeedee, or have they just been slamming Phyllis down our throats as "the town saint" just to spite us. The DC gang think that's what Maria is doing with Daisy. Maria knows she can't act, but wants to create a Y&R "star". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
